How intense is this feeling? Consider that when these people and the writers
and talkers who stroke their anxieties for a living aren't talking about
Obama's foreignness, they're talking about his "rage", and wherever you believe
that comes from, there's no way it could come from having observed the
mild-mannered fellow in the Oval Office. The demonstrable fact that a clear
majority of Republicans cannot fucking deal with having a black
president is very much at odds with the official position of the media, which
keeps reminding us that of course, whatever differences rational people may
have with the Republicans or Fox News or the Tea Party, they're all good people
with the best intentions whose hysteria is in no way colored with racism. They
say it in exactly the same tone they used to remind us that, of course,
Ronald Reagan was always completely in touch with reality and George W. Bush
was never in the least little way stupid.
